look here and here

have you add your DB information to /lib/config.php ?
when you do you have to put your DB info in quotes, so it is like:

$config['dbConnection']['host'] = 'localhost'; 

not like

$config['dbConnection']['host'] = localhost;

Yeah, here's my config file in chat/lib/config.php

an this part you have to edit

// Database connection values:
$config['dbConnection'] = array();
// Database hostname:
$config['dbConnection']['localhost'] = null;
// Database username:
$config['dbConnection']['mybb'] = null;
// Database password:
$config['dbConnection']['HIDDEN FOR SECURITY PURPOSES'] = null;
// Database name:
$config['dbConnection']['Dalton'] = null;
// Database type:
$config['dbConnection']['mysql'] = null;
// Database link:
$config['dbConnection']['mybb'] = null;

You've done it a little wrong Dalton,
It needs to be like this:

// Database connection values:
$config['dbConnection'] = array();
// Database hostname:
$config['dbConnection']['host'] = 'MYSQL HOST HERE';
// Database username:
$config['dbConnection']['user'] = 'MYSQL USERNAME HERE;
// Database password:
$config['dbConnection']['pass'] = 'MYSQL USER PASSWORD HERE';
// Database name:
$config['dbConnection']['name'] = 'DATABASE NAME HERE';
// Database type:
$config['dbConnection']['type'] = 'DATABASE TYPE HERE';
// Database link:
$config['dbConnection']['link'] = null;

and you leave:

// Database link:
$config['dbConnection']['link'] = null;

As is...

Edit; hang on..

Err; now I get.

Quote:Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/dalton/public_html/forums/chat/lib/config.php on line 27

this is line 27: $config['dbConnection']['pass'] = '[pass is here]';

means youre password is wrong or not in quotes.

eg

// Database connection values:
$config['dbConnection'] = array();
// Database hostname:
$config['dbConnection']['host'] = localhost;
// Database username:
$config['dbConnection']['user'] = xxxxxxxxx;
// Database password:
$config['dbConnection']['pass'] = xxxxxxxxx;
// Database name:
$config['dbConnection']['name'] = xxxxxxxx;
// Database type:
$config['dbConnection']['type'] = MySQLi;
// Database link:
$config['dbConnection']['link'] = null;

works for me without quotes

Agh.
Is it because I can't use MySQLi?
Because my host switched servers a couple days ago, and doesn't have MySQLi yet..

i dont think so. MySQLi is only an extension of MySQL
an the line which is false is this one with youre password

Hm. Well I got school tomorrow, and I gotta go to bed.
I'll figure it out.

Thanks anyway though.
